Book Reviews of Road & Track Illustrated Automotive Dictionary
Book Review: Informative, Detailed and Accessible
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the better automotive texts that I have picked up. The information is well presented with detailed explanations and pictures to further illustrate certain points. This is not a fix it/repair style manual; it is meant to be a "side-kick" for such a book. It is one of my personal favorites and comes highly recommended. Book Review: Great info, good for anyone
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who needs to know the facts. This is for definitions, not fixing anything. It is a great reference to look up stuff as you are reading a manual, hell, even an issue of Road and Track. The answers are concise and easy reading. I always look for definitions of the Miller Cycle, because it is a simple process yet the first time I read it in Bosch's Automotive Handbook, it was confusing. It is well laid out in the Dictionary, with figures that could explain it on its own. I just found out what the difference is between an A pillar, B pillar, and a C pillar is, well lets say it clarified things :) That does bring up one interesting thing. In "A pillar" I would assume you would find the definition at the start of A. Actually you would find it at "Ap". For some reason the A in A pillar is not considered a word. Anyway kudos to John Dinkel it is an excellent book.Book Review: Illustrated Automotive Dictionary

A simple easy to understand explination of a complex subject. Not required reading for engineers but if a machanic has you bamboozled this book could help.
